Intermediate Support Engineer
from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site
Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is digging through Linux systems, logs, and the Rails codebase to solve customers' hardest GitLab problems, then fixing them at the source and writing it all down.
If you love the moment a customer's baffling edge case cracks open once you dig into the logs, the Linux box, and the Rails source, this role hands you those puzzles every day. You will fix problems at the source with real merge requests, write the documentation that saves the next engineer, and shape the product roadmap with what you learn on the front line. It is remote, transparent, and run by a globally distributed crew that trusts you to structure your own shifts.
